2007: A rite of passage. The stagette, of course! My girlfriends stuffed me into a posh hotel room – and fed me marshmallows and liquor until I threw up. And THEN we began the celebration!
The photo above was taken before the late night dancing… but shortly after I was subjected to numerous well-planned and expertly executed stagette games I won’t repeat here. Swaying back and forth and stumbling, I protested that I wouldn’t be able to make it to the club, and motioned for the girls to go on without me. Undeterred, they found a walker-styled shopping cart in the hallway and wheeled me to the elevator.
(I shudder to think whose walker they pinched! And sincerely hope it made it back to the proper owner.)
I have almost no memories of that night, including the exact moment this photo was taken, why it was taken, who took it… but I do know that the silly grin on my face ended with a grimace when I face-planted on a couch in the nightclub. Ah, to be young again! This is my throwback.
Looks like you were having the time of your life!
It was a great night (I’m sure of it!) Hahaha
Hah Great photo :) It looks like you were having a blast – even if you don’t remember much of it :)
I remember most of the hotel room, but then everything becomes a blur :)
Why is it that when we are having the time of our life having a blast we wake up not remembering a thing??? hehehehe!!! You sure are a cutie pie!!
Too true Allie! I guess we have to blame it on the alcohol :)
Looks like you were having fun, even though you don’t remember much about it!
Those are the best kinds of nights – the ones with photographic evidence!
awesome memories of a special and fun night!
You bet! I have about 100 pictures that even I scratch my head at when I flip through :)
I love this pic and that night so much…but my face (!)..it’s sometimes shocking to look back at the “roundness”.
It was (and still is) a beautiful face. You see the roundness – I see a young girl filled with zest and happiness!
awe lol you look so happy!!
Some of the best times of my life, Angie!
Haha, for a forgotten memory you sure as hell look happy! haha
Hahaha maybe that’s why I forgot – it was too good a night!
There will always be pictures! :)
No doubt!!!
HAHAHAHAHAH This story and picture is amazing. At least you don’t have the drunk-eyes that some people have! It’s actually a pretty photo of you lol.
LOL totally I know it could have been worse! And for the record, I do have quite a few drunk-eyed photos too :)
Beautiful picture. Sounds like you were having a lot of fun!
Thank you Helene! Ah, life without kids! So much freedom :)
I love a good stagette party! If you remember them you aren’t doing it right! ;)
Hear, hear Susan! Love that!
Looks like a super fun night! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Victoria!
oh those were the days. I had a blast at mine we rented a school bus and went to Ottawa hit lots of clubs no strip ones that was one thing I told them I didnt want to do. then we pigged out at the end at a fast food place.
Hahaha I had the same instructions – no strippers. Then again, my husband went to Vegas for his stag, so I wonder if he stuck to the same rules!
Looks like a fun time Lena <3 Love memories ..
Thanks Darrah – it’s so much fun reliving them all!
Looks like you had a blast – and that looks like a luggage cart they found for you LOL !! Too funny :) (All I had was a tame wedding “shower” held by my Aunt and Mom ROFL)
A luggage cart! Phew! All this time I thought they pinched a walker or something, LOL!
Ah the good old days, I have plenty of them, it’s funny because I don’t even drink now, it’s been four years since I’ve had a drink. Your picture looks awesome, wished I looked that good when I was polluted..sounds like you had an awesome time even though you don’t remember some of it (those are the best) lol..and the memories through pictures are always good too, to take you back to that night and smile!!
You’re so right Lynda… the good old days! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink… and I think this night put me off shots for good!
I don’t know how I survived the good ol days lol Even loaded, you stay beautiful!
Hahaha I was about 2 minutes shy of scary Beyonce face, I promise!
Looks like you ladies had a lot of fun. I must say, you are super pretty.
Thank you Stephanie :)
It certainly was a priceless and memorable (well in a sense even if you don’t quite recall everything that happened that night) moment. Looks like it was fun though!
I think some of the best nights are the ones you can’t remember! Hahaha
This weekend I was asked to be in a friend’s bridal party and I realized it’s been about 20 years since I was last a bridesmaid. I’ve been trying to remember some of the things we did and the fun I had with friends back then. Your photo reminds me of the one wedding where we “kidnapped” the bride and took her to Niagara Falls for a fun night where we hit every karaoke bar. There are so many moments from those times that I just can’t recall because it was so long ago. Taking photos is a great way to preserve those memories and help to jog the memory.
Ah, Elizabeth I hope you have a blast this weekend! Take tons of photos!
Marshmallows??! Oh my. Love the pic!
Awe,its sure sweet to look back at the good old days
It’s sure nice to have wonderful memories to look back on !
